Ivanovo, Russia Ivanovo‐Voznesensk A province and a city. The city was created in 1871 with the amalgamation of the villages of Ivanovo and Voznesensk; the latter name was dropped in 1932, probably because of Stalin's^† crusade against religion. Vozneseniye means ‘The Ascension’ to which the original village church was dedicated. Ivanov was probably named after Ivan IV the Terrible (1530–84), first Tsar of All Russia (1547–84), although this is not certain.
